PREFACE. 

This little volume is intended as a memorial of 
my father and mother. To me their life and 
faith and prayers and councils have been a con- 
stant inspiration, and I humbly hope that, 
through divine grace, I may be permitted, when 
done with time, to meet them in the better land. 

I am painfully conscious of the incomplete- 
ness of this work. No doubt many interesting 
facts have been lost, while only the briefest men- 
tion could be made of those facts that have come 
down to us. 

I wish here to acknowledge my indebtedness 
toF.O. Conant's book, "History and Genealogy 
of the Conant Family," also to letters received 
from him, to the Family Record in my grand- 
father Connet's Family Bible, to a copy of the 
Family Record in my grandfather French's 
Bible, received many years ago, to my brother 
Oliver Connet for valuable aid, and to all who 
have furnished data, or in any way aided me in 
the work.

6 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY 



F. O. Conant, in his able and exhaustive work, 
History and Genealogy of the Conant family, 
says in the Introduction "The Conant family ap- 
pears to be primarily of Celtic descent. Nobody 
knows when the Celts first settled in Britain, 
for at the beginning of authentic history the 
island was inhabited by them. Records remain 
to show that the name Conant in very nearly its 
present form, has existed in England for over 
600 years. The orthography has varied con- 
siderably, due principally to the ignorance of 
clerks. In England 32 ways of writing the 
name have been found, and in America 18 ways, 
9 of which are included in the foregoing, making 
41 variations in all. In Devonshire, England, 
the old home of the family, tho the name is writ- 
ten Conant, the common pronunciation is Con- 
net or Cunnet." — History and Genealogy of the Con- 
ant Family, by F. 0. Conant. 



OF THE CONNET FAMILY 



In the above Mr. Conant includes the various 
ways of writing the name Connet. 

In America the name Connet, tho variously- 
written, is now a distinct name from Conant, and 
will be so regarded in this work. It appears 
from Mr. Conant 's work that it had become a 
distinct name in England, tho in some instances 
the same person's name seems to have been writ- 
ten Conant and sometimes Connet, with still 
other variations. He finds a large number of 
Connets in England, most of them in the County 
of Devon, one of the S. W. counties. He says 
in a letter to the writer, "Undoubtedly the Con- 
nets came from Devonshire, England." This is 
the opinion of Harry Connett, a Major in the Sal- 
vation Army, Cleveland, Ohio, but formerly 
from Devonshire, England. 

I make special note of the following variations 
in writing the name: Conet, Connet, Conett, 
Connett, Cunnet, Cunnett. For other variations 
see Mr. Conant's book. 

The writer has not been able to learn at what 
date the first or any subsequent migration of 
Connets reached America. The eastern branch 
of Narragansett Bay is called Seakonet or Sea- 
connet, but when or by whom so named, the 
author does not know. It is certain there were 
Connets in America at an early date. Mr. Con- 
ant finds that there was an Indian named Will- 



8 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY 

iam Connett at Yantic, Conn., in 1682. He has 
recently learned that there were Connets at 
Charlestown, Mass., at a very early date. I here 
quote in full a letter received from Mr. Conant, 
that will, I am sure, interest all Connets. 

Portland, Me., February 16, 05. 
Dear Sir: 

I have just made a very interesting discovery, 
viz: that Henry Connet, on page 563 of my book, 
was born in Charlestown, Mass., son of John 
Connet, who was a son of James Connet and 
Mehetable, dr. of Richard Gardner. The name 
Gardner is suggestive, for in my book a Gardner 
Connet, living in New Jersey, 1728, is mentioned; 
doubtless he was a son or grandson. Henry 
had brothers, James, b. 1690, John, b. 1692, Mat- 
thew, b. 1700, and a sister Sarah, b. 1695. The 
names James and Matthew are also names found 
among the New Jersey Connets, and I think the 
whole family moved to New Jersey. 

The James born in 1690 was most likely your 
great, great grandfather. I do not feel sure that 
John was the father of these brothers. It may 
be the first James was. Hill Wyman's Genealo- 
gies and Estates of Charlestown say, "John, son 
of James, was father of James, John, Henry, 
Matthew." This first James was apparently 
ancester of a large part, if not all the New Jersey 
Connets. Yours truly, 

F. O. CONANT. 



OF THE CONNET FAMILY \) 

If Mr. Conant is correct in his opinion that the 
James Connet named above, born in 1690, is the 
author's great, great grandfather, then we are 
able to trace our ancestry back 215 years. And 
if he is correct, most, if not all the Connets in 
America are related, unless there have been sub- 
sequent migrations of the family to this country. 
While Mr. Conant is probably correct, we lack 
positive evidence. I, therefore, begin the gene- 
alogy of my branch of the family with my great 
grandfather, about whom I know but little, ex- 
cept his name and the names of his children. 

1 . James Connet, the writers great grand- 
father, was born about 1730, place not known. 
Late in life he lived in Essex Co., N. J. He mar- 
ried twice, name of first wife not known. Name 
of second wife, Amy Kelly, w. of Harris. 

Children by first wife: 

i. Moses. 

ii. William. 

iii. John, who was murdered by a Mr. Mc- 
Daniel, William or James, both names have been 
given to the writer. McDaniel was executed. 

iv. Sarah. She married a man by the name 
of Meshet, first name not known. 

Children by second wife: 

v. Mary. She married Van Northwick, first 
name not known. 

vi. James, the writer's grandfather, b. April 
14, 1764, probably in Essex Co. N. J. m. 



10 HISTORY AND GENEALOGY 

vii. Spencer, married Phebe . They 

had several children. He lived in sight of grand- 
father's, and died young. 

It is believed that William and Moses were 
both married, that they had children and that 
they lived near grandfather's, but that John was 
not married. There were Van Northwicks at 
Bound Brook, N. J. in 1890, but no Connets were 
living in that vicinity at that date. Old people 
living there said there had been Connets there, 
but could give no definite information in regard 
to them. Neither were there any Meshets or 
Van Orticks there at that time, but there were 
Van Northwicks there. 

2. (vi.) James, (James), the writer's grand- 
father, b. April 14, 1764, d. June 25, 1845. near 
Prosperity, Pa. He married in Essex Co., N. J., 
Oct. 21, 1793, Jane, dr. of Joseph and Elizabeth 
(— ) Powel, b. Dec. 17, 1776, in Essex Co., N. J., 
d. Sept. 2, 1846, near Prosperity, Pa. Joseph 
Powel was of Dutch decent, a cooper, and a sol- 
dier in the Revolutionary war. He removed to 
Albany, N. Y. and died there. James Connet 
was a weaver. He and his wife appear to have 
removed one or more times during their stay in 
N. J., for the testimony is that they lived in Es- 
sex Co., that they lived in Morris township, not 
far from Elizabeth, not far from Mendham, twen- 
ty miles from the ocean, and in hearing of the 
church bells at Bound Brook. They were mem- 



OF THE CONNET FAMILY 11 

bers of the Presbyterian church. Grandfather's 
parents were both dead when he and grand- 
mother were married. They moved to Wash- 
ington Co., Pa., in 1801 and lived and died on a 
little farm of about 40 acres about three miles 
N. E. of where the village of Prosperity now 
stands. Grandmother said that grandfather's 
folks were of English decent. 

Late in life they united with the Bethel, Cum- 
berland Presbyterian, church at Vanburen, 
Washington Co., Pa.
